3.5 stars

More than half of my rating is for Bailey, he saves the story. ( )

Originally read and reviewed in the Exposed Anthology.

This story is maybe the longest in this bundle, and it dragged a bit. It's about Landon, who made an appearance in the gaymers and the Out of Uniform series as well. He was Pike's roommate.
I really liked this one, because it wasn't stereotypical. With the name Landon, I instantly thought about a tall and burly guy; and with Bailey, a quirky twink comes to mind. And they were the exact opposite. Landon was a shy man in nature, and Bailey more confident, but when they got to the sexy part Landon got all bossy, while Bailey just sputtered. So their roles got reversed, and it was fun to witness. There's mention of sexual assault in Landon's past, that's causing
some tension in there blooming relationship, but it just made the sexy times all the more hotter. :) ( )

Oh my gods this book. It just starts off so adorable I love it. It heats up later but you just can't help but fall in love with these guys. They're just too cute (and I don't just mean their smoking good looks)! I love the whole friends-to-benefits trope but this book takes it to a whole new level (pun intended). Annabeth does a great job of capturing the gamer lifestyle without giving in to any of the negative stigmas or stereotypes at all. Definitely, a must read if you love cute to hot and sexy gamer guys finding their way from tentative friendship to all-out passion.
